Venice.. part Uno!

We took a quick walk around the streets of Venice once we checked in to our aparment, which was at about midnight.  The streets were completely deserted and beautifully lit, leaving us completely in awe of the surreal and almost theatrical setting that the city provided.  It also left us completely unprepared for what would be the most heavily touristed city on our tour.  Luckily, there were just so many of these narrow winding streets that one could get away from the tourists when the urge to go crazy was getting hard to contain.  I can't stress enough how incredible the lighting was in this city at night. 
 

Amsterdam!

Here we are, walking downtown, fresh off the plane, and train.  It's true what they say about the 'dam.. bikes everywhere!
